STATUE OF THE MANUAL WORKING CLASS

Early day motion 1166, tabled 22 April 2002 by Stephen Hepburn (Labour). Signed by 32 members.

That this House recognises the important and historic contribution made by the manual working class workers of this country; further recognises the wealth they have created and the role they have played during times of war; notes that as many manual workers have died through workplace accidents and diseases as in war; further notes that the significant historic figures are already widely celebrated; and calls upon the Mayor of London's Advisory Group to recommend the erection of a statue to the manual working class on the fourth plinth in Trafalgar Square as a fitting recognition of their great contribution to this country.
